Beautiful day! Bit brisk, but sunny. The unknown picker was busy,
but Chris Wood and Android Cat met Gregg and me at noon. As usual I
was across the street.

Brisk day for flyers, I was down to ones Arel brought me, some of
Kristi's "Is Scientology breaking the law" and a batch of a posting by
Poopsy Charmicheal.

Right after I got on station a scientologist came by and told me to
quit what I was doing and go away. He said this about 6 times in his
best tone 40. Next time I am going to try putting him in session.
:-)

Later I had a guy in shades try to get in a fight with me. He claimed
he had spent much time with scientologists and they had never tried to
suck him in. I asked him if he was a scientologist and he claimed
that I was defaming him <grin He seemed in shock to discover I had
a tape recorder in my pocket. He went over and complained to the
other picketers.

Gregg had a much more exciting time. The goon squad has come back.
Bob Hill and Brian McPherson put in an appearance. Gregg had
considerable interaction with Bobby. Bob was posted after a while out
on the corner to keep scientologists from taking a flyer. A street
person (in red) was giving Gregg a lot of trouble (he might have been
egged on or ever paid by the org). After a while the street kid
started getting violent--supposedly because Gregg's patter included a
mention that the city would not subsidize a Hell's Angel's clubhouse
but is providing a tax subsidy to scientology (kid claimed his uncle
was a Hell's Angel chapter president). Mind you, Gregg has this large
camera under his arm with the lens pointing out. Gregg has this
really funny section where this street kid is told he is on tape.
Total dismay "What!" in a high-pitched voice then "Oh F***" and then
he splits.

Later Gregg read OT3 and clears the scientologists from the street.
The cops arrived from Gregg's request. Gregg told them the street kid
was gone. There was female street person who might have been the
kid's gf. When the cops were looking at her Gregg told them she had
been a peacemaker in the confrontation with the kid. She was amazed
that he would protect her from the cops.

Good picket
